Do you want to leave for a while the noise and the chaos of Miami and have a break? That’s great! You can go off the beaten tracks and get to Key Biscayne, at few miles or km from the Florida‘s most famous destination.
The village of Key Biscayne is a good destination if you want to spend a relaxing holiday, far from the noise and the confusion of a big city.
Anyway before visiting the Key Biscayne beach, if you are into tennis, you would remember that Key Biscayne is one ( or at least it was) of part of the Sony Ericsson Open tennis tournament, whose stadium is located in the Crandon Park Tennis Center.
This is the owner of the 13,300 seat stadium court: a gecko! 🙂
If you turn the head from the stadium towards Miami, you can see the “Downtown´s landscape”.
After this short visit to the Crandon Park, now we decided to stop for a while and relax on the beach.
The Key Biscayne beach is absolutely wonderful: few people, the blue Atlantic Ocean shores, warm temperature and stunning view.
Used to the European beaches, where you can easily access to the sea, we had to look for a public access. It was easier than imagined, as the public access was right in front of the Crandon Park parking place.
Coconut palm-trees, peacocks, seagulls, pelicans and cormorants populate the park
A nice story is related to this coconut: I tried to open it but I got it after having thrown it against the palm-tree trunk several times.
Thanks to all my efforts to see what there was inside, the one that took advantage of this situation was this seagull. Have a good lunch! 🙂 At least I was useful to someone else lol! 🙂
After my attempt to discover what was inside the coconut and the seagull’s lunch, it’s time to show you the fantastic Key Biscayne beach, on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. What a great place and what a warm water temperature…
Well this is a paradise: so if you are in Miami don’t miss a trip to Key Biscayne because….time flies when you have fun or even relax….
Where to sleep:
- Budget / mid-range accomodation: Coral Reef Luxury Suites Key Biscayne, located at just 1,6 km from the beach, has apartments that can contain up to 4 people, ideal also for families. Swimming pool and prices around 151 Euros per person.
- Luxury accomodation: the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, not far from the beach, one of the most famous hotels in the world, swimming pool with some restaurants around it, a huge wellness area. Prices around 455 Euros per double room per night.
Travel tips:
- Ideal for a relaxing vacation and/or for a daily trip or “escape from Miami“
- The Crandon Park is good both to visit the Tennis Center and to go to the beach
- There’s also a national park, where to see a wider wildlife rather than the birdwatching at Crandon Park
- Off the beaten tracks place
- We missed the famous Key Biscayne lighthouse
